According to the arrest warrant, Zion Spencer was partying with friends when he went to go get something from his car. Spencer then accidentally went into the wrong house, and was chased by McCollough who started to punch him in the face. Spencer fell down some stairs during the fight and was knocked unconscious.

McCollough came back to the scene after being called by his girlfriend, and there was a bloody bandage on one of his hands. McCollough went into police custody without issue.

Losing McCollough could be a big blow to the Tennessee defense, who will need all the help they can get with Alabama coming to town in Week 7. This is the first time in awhile that both teams are undefeated heading into the game.

Tennessee and Alabama kicks off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
